Aumaden's Journal: Global warming ? Or just Weird weather?

Poor Bethanie is camping out in a shopping mall while she waits for electricity to be restored after an ice storm. Meanwhile, some 600 miles north, we had some rain and now it's sunny and warm. Yes, after a few sub-20 days, mid forties is considered warm. We lost power in last week's storm, but only because a plow driver turned too sharply and took out a pole. The driver gets extra points for also taking out the cable and phone lines. A regular trifecta.

We're going with a table top tree this year because of overly exhuberant tails. My wife (Krystal) got a new service dog (Rikki) just last month. As Rikki's just turned 18 months, she's still very much a puppy. (Poor Kokuma, my 3-year old Shiba Inu, can't keep up with her.) So, the tree needed to be above tail level.
